Heard-Craig Historic Center
McKinney, Texas

Historic House

The Heard-Craig Historic Center consists of a 7,000 sq. ft. historic home and carriage house built in 1900. The home contains breathtaking stained glass, original furnishings, personal belongings, family heirlooms, and art collected by the Heard and Craig families.

The Heard family was instrumental in the early development of the city of McKinney. Tours at the center tell the story of a fascinating family dedicated to their community and each other.

A Victorian Christmas special event will open on November 23 - 25, 2001 and will include decorations in every room of the home. Docents in costume will tell of the traditions of Victorian Christmas as visitors tour the site.
